Repeat entries in bb-hosts
Hi Friends,
In my bb-hosts I group the hosts by networks and now I would like to create another subpage to group ,for example, with all the database servers, but maintaining them on the respectively networks page too.
How can I repeat entries in bb-hosts just to create the new page and the hobbit ignore this?
Thanks in advance,
Mario.

If you just want these hosts displayed on two (or more) pages, you should have *one* place where you define them normally with all of the various network tests you perform; and all other places you must have them defined with
0.0.0.0 host1.foo.com # noconnHobbit will use the first (master) definition for all of the network tests and other settings; in all of the other places it will automatically copy the results and displays from the master definition.

I tried this, but I don't think my implementation was correct.
How I have it now is my bb-hosts has:
dispinclude bb-hosts.all include bb-hosts.subs
That way I can see an "all" view, or the servers broken into categories. I define each host in the bb-hosts.all and bb-hosts.subs
In the "subs" page, I tried setting all of the IP's to 0.0.0.0 and putting #noconn at the end, and shortly after, everything on both pages went purple, so Im not sure if the way I am approaching it is wrong or what.

The man-page states:
"dispinclude filename Acts like the "include" tag, but only on the BBDISPLAY server. Can be used e.g. to put a group of hosts on multiple subpages, without having to repeat the host definitions."
So you could set up your bb-hosts-file as follows for two (or more) views: 1 - SLA's (fi. SLA_XXX and SLA_YYY) and 2 - System views (Solaris, Linux, Windows...).
Example bb-hosts-file:
title Your Company
page SLA SLA title SLA - Your Company
subpage SLA_XXX SLA_XXX title SLA_XXX: Unix - Solaris include bb-hosts-solaris-SLA_XXX.txt title SLA_XXX: Unix - Linux include bb-hosts-linux-SLA_XXX.txt
subpage SLA_XXX SLA_YYY title SLA_YYY: Unix - Solaris include bb-hosts-solaris-SLA_YYY.txt title SLA_YYY: Unix - Linux include bb-hosts-linux-SLA_YYY.txt
[snip]
page SYSTEM System title Systems - Your Company
subpage SOLARIS Solaris title Solaris-systems dispinclude Include/bb-hosts-solaris-SLA_XXX.txt dispinclude Include/bb-hosts-solaris-SLA_YYY.txt ...
subpage LINUX Linux title Linux-systems dispinclude Include/bb-hosts-linux-SLA_XXX.txt dispinclude Include/bb-hosts-linux-SLA_YYY.txt ... [snip]
Mind the include of dispinclude-setting when you start making the new view. Although I'm not sure wether Henrik's previous suggestion is compulsory, it works for us. Hope this helps.
